Project Rename Announcement: Poac -> Cabin

[ken-matsui]

TL;DR

Since Poac is difficult for many to pronounce and explain, I've decided to rename this project to Cabin. The name "Cabin" aligns better with the project's focus on being a C++ package manager and build system.

Why the Name Change to Cabin?

"Poac" is hard to explain in conversations or interviews, while "Cabin" is easier to pronounce and remember. It calls up the idea of a storage space for organizing things, which ties well with the concept of a package manager and build system. Also, the "C" and "bin" parts reference C++.

I’ve evaluated many alternative names over 2 years, and "CCPM" has been the best name in my mind for a half year. However, since this project also consists of the aspect of build system, the "PM" part (short for package manager) was considered unsuitable. Additionally, the name could cause confusion with CPM, an existing CMake package manager.

Domain

poac.dev will be redirected to cabinpkg.com. I chose this domain because it's available, affordable, and shows the purpose of the project, i.e., a package manager. I considered other TLDs but decided on .com as it's widely recognized and used.

GitHub

The GitHub organization, poac-dev, will be transferred to cabinpkg. I'll also attempt to secure the poac-dev name again to prevent it from being used by others.

Next Steps

All references to Poac in existing documentation and codes will be updated. Since resources are limited, the transition will be gradual, and I welcome contributions via pull requests to help with the process.
